Takin' the Easy Way Out

Writers: leo sayer &david courtney
You contend
That youll never got back to her again
Youre as free as a night without end
So you tell your friends
Just what you had to endure
When you told her never, never again
And as the room about you starts to bend
You pretend
That youve taken the easy way out
Though you know ehn you told her last night
You were fakin the easy way out
With one hand reachin fo the door
But your feet werent movin
They were nailed to the floor
As she told you once more
Theres no easy way to get out
Shes not like you
Shed rather stay at home
n not get the blues
And if you ever do try to intrude
Shes so respectfully rude
So it was hard to believe
Last night while you were drunk n Threatening to leave
That she walked through the door with such ease
n threw you the key
And shes takin the easy way out
And youre alone with no number to call
Shes taken the easy way out
With one hand reachin for the door
And you so speechless
Marooned on the floor
She walked out of your life
Couldnt stand it no more
Now youre all on your own
cos shes taken the easy way out
You know shes taken the easy way out
Oh, but your pride will only admit to a lie
Yeah, shes taken the easy way out
But, to your friends
Youre the hero of the night
Drowning with beef all the tears in your eyes
Hopin it dont show that youre dyin inside
cause you cant quite believe
That shes taken the easy way out
Theres no goin back now
Stuck here on your own
Lookin for a home
Drunk and on the streets
Stuck on your feet
